Re: Ford LGT165 for sale southern Indiana
I'd be on your doorstep, but I'm out of Portland, OR.
I need a working 16HP engine.

Since nobody replied with any interest, does anyone need
anything Ford LGTparts? I can look through the pile¡¯s before my
wife starts tossing things. If you want to make an
offer on the tractor with 50¡± deck or 42¡± deck please let me
know?
Thank you, Randy?

Ford LGT165 for sale southern Indiana
I have a Ford LGT165 for sale and lots of extra parts. Engine replaced 10 years ago and runs good. Cleaning up after a tornado in August and amazing how many parts were put in different places. I am in Southern Indiana and asking $1,200 for everything.

I used to get 3 years on the batteries that I bought at Tractor supply. They went for $25. This year the price doubled and that is what made me look for a different approach.

Thanks for the info, good to know, always thought those were scams.
I got tired of replacing fairly new mower batteries that went dead in the off season and invested in battery tenders (trickle chargers). They work great and have extended the life of all 4 of my mower batteries. I know one of the batteries is stamped 2017. On my mowers that aren't near an elec outlet, I remove the batteries and keep them on a tender in the garage. I believe they make solar chargers too.

I am in Northeast Connecticut. Last winter we had only a few very light snows. Not enough to bring out my 1964 Chief 1000 with it's 2 stage snow blower. So, in April when I decided to move it out to the shed for the summer, the battery was completely dead. I checked it with a hygrometer and each section stayed in the red. The hygrometer float didn't move even a mm in any of the 6 sections. So I tried something. I purchased a "battery rejuvinator" on eBay for $11. It was 6 small packets of a white powder. I poured into each into of the 6 battery sections and charged it up. I then started the tractor up and moved it to the shed for the summer. Today I decided to move the tractor to the garage for the winter. I turned the start key and it had almost enough power to start the engine. I then charged it for 5 minutes nan then tried again to start the tractor engine. It turned over quickly and started right up. So what ever the chemical was, it worked. A new battery would have cost me $50 and I was able to extend it's life for only $11.? ??

The coil may be fine. Try installing a new condenser.?

Interesting. ?Out of box failures on coils are not uncommon. ?I'd be interested to hear the resistance numbers, but more interested to hear if the new coil resolves the issue. ?It may need a ballast resistor.
Don't fear that timing light. ?Intermittent spark is not the same as erratic timing. ?You don't need to actually check the timing. ?Just look at the strobe against a spinning part and listen to the rpm. ?The should move together without the spinning part jumping around erratically.
Your ignition needs to provide sufficient spark on time AND in time.
